Hereafter

Hereafter follows a robotic experiment that reboots in an abandoned laboratory with no memory of its identity or purpose. With help from MUSE, an intelligent AI also left behind by their creator, you explore the extensive complex to search for the missing creator and answers about your origins.

Explore the laboratory

The facility contains varied environments and other failed experiments, which roam freely and cause trouble for MUSE. You meet intelligent characters who may be friends or foes, solve puzzles and cross challenging areas as you make your way deeper into the complex. Rocket boots provide a physics-based jump boost; mastering their timing helps you traverse the levels.

Uncover the story

You find Data Files around the facility and bring them to MUSE for decoding, gradually revealing the larger story. Your search may lead to redemption or to a dark truth about your existence and your creator’s disappearance.

Fight and prepare

You use melee and ranged weapons, along with armor found throughout the complex, to choose your approach against the unruly experiments. Save terminals let you save your progress as you advance. Metal medals serve as currency among the more intelligent experiments, and you can spend them in shops on useful items and upgrades. The journey also includes challenging boss fights and regular enemies that may feel like mini-bosses.
